Bug Report

When importing more than 5 projects using terraform provider this results in an error message. The size of the project to import is about 9MB.

Error: error while waiting for project "clone-8" import to finish: unexpected state 'failed', wanted target 'finished'. last error: %!s(\<nil\>)

Loop import via Gitlab-API works fine.
